Partial road closure on Magnolia Drive. Only one lane open over the canal crossing located just south of Risher Lane. This emergency closure is due to needed road and culvert repair. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause for the homeowners in this area. Thanks for your patience and understanding during this process.
